Football Player Abducted? Looking For Attention?
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS reports on a bizarre story that sounds a little like something out of a Jason Bourne movie, or perhaps approaching Ned Beatty’s notorious scene in Deliverance. A 300-pound(!) high school football lineman says he was forced to crash his car to escape a gunman who had kidnapped him and forced him to drive more than 200 miles.

17-year-old Kory Wakefield told police that he was walking out of his house in the town of Leadington, Missouri, on Monday to go to school, when a man with a gun walked up and demanded to be driven to the towns of Columbia and later Kirksville. What follows is either an amazing tale of courage and self-determination, or one incredibly elaborate excuse for ditching school on a Monday.
